This is from Edward Wright Haile's book, `Jamestown Narratives,' which translates passages in Capt. John Smith's 1624 journal, `The General History of Virginia, New England and the Summer Isles.'

“ The next morning we went up the river and our friend Mosco followed us along the shore and at last desired to go with us in our boat. But as we passed by Pisacack, Matchopeak and Mecuppom--three towns situated upon high white, clay cliffs, the other side all a low-plain marsh, and the river there but narrow--thirty or forty of the Rapahanocks had so accommodated themselves with branches as we took them for little bushes growing among the sedge, still seeing their arrows strike the targets and dropped in the river; whereas Mosco (Smith's Indian guide) fell flat in the boat on his face, crying "THE RAPPAHANNOCKS!" which presently we espied to be in the bushes; which at our first volley fell down into the sedge. When we were near half a mile from them, they showed themselves, dancing and singing very merrily.”
